摘要: Abstract Zinc–germanium diphosphide (ZGP) crystals (15 mm in diameter and 65 mm length) were successfully grown by the modified vertical Bridgman method on seeds at different pulling rates (0.5 mm/h 0.75 mm/h) order to study defect generation during crystal growth. At positions (the onset, middle end) single crystals, their properties of ZGP investigated X-ray diffraction, etching technique optical transmission spectra. The results indicate that increase rate deteriorates quality onset part crystals. etch pit density (EPD) full width half maximum (FWHM) rocking curves increase, while transmittance decreases with increasing rate. However, hardly influences end
